Comment on Is it really possible that the Maggats will keep Mitch McConell on life support until the midterms? Or will they just let him die and try a sympathy vote?

  I mean…I get it.

  I’ve had jobs before where I just DON’T do my job.

  What? You say their job is important??? Oh, they’re literally running the country???

  Oh.

  Yeah, they should do their job.

  goes back to ignoring the front desk

  I think I’ll get a nap in…

  The job they wanted enough to sacrifice their morals

  Not a very big sacrifice in most cases

  I agree, although I don’t think the solution is to just demand that they have to be there for every vote, even when they’re incapable of doing so. I think they should have second-in-commandd, like a vice president or lieutenant governor.

  Sometimes folks get sick. Sometimes they have to travel. Sometimes they die in office! We should just recognize that and allow them to appoint a surrogate to do these things when they can’t.
